Rise of the Physician Entrepreneur

There is no better time to be a digital entrepreneur than this new century as access to information via democratised technology is now widely available. No longer do people have to be defined by the teachings of an institution, and nothing else, and also work in industries that claim to be in need of such highly educated professionals.

Even as the 4th Industrial Revolution, AI and other ultra specialised phenomena sweep the globe, human resources management has not aligned its core strategies to help give skilled individuals a chance to a decently earned livelihood. The Health sector is perhaps the worst organised and poorly optimised industry till date.

Although rapid strides in public health activities have greatly expanded our lifespans, which is directly correlated with increased global GDP and ofcourse rising out of poverty, there is a pandemic of societal injustice to healthcare professionals.

If you are a doctor reading this, or have a doctor associate in your social circle, you know very well the difficult tasks that we have agreed to take on as part of a lifelong investment in caring for our human brethren.

Physician entrepreneurship, or healthcare entrepreneurship, is an enterprise business just like any other fancy startup. There is a defined problem in a set market, with customers with high probability of being attracted to a solution with the right value proposition, a scalable distribution channel and business model that guarantees flawless revenue streams.

Physician entrepreneurship may in fact be a guiding tool to help highly motivated and dedicated healthcare professionals to create sustainable and gainful employment, even wealth generation not just for oneself but for their comrades as well.
